typical bear raid to clear out some shorts for a push down.


trendline here.. for weak shorts to cover.. here.

in forex this is done a lot on news reports, and I see it happening in spooz more, a large player will spike it in the opposing direction to clear out stops then quickly reverses it down...stranding new bulls at upper price levels...and destroying other trades.

RT letters sent out...

edit:fresh lo`s could easily be next week as well.

systemize your trading and rules and it wont be scary.. I've been sitting back most of the morning.

I'm a true believer in algo trading. I don't have the patience to manually enter trades and conduct risk management minute to minute.

I will enter trades manually only if the systemized trigger going to lagg, or frontrun my own system.

All it takes is a few seconds lagg in risk management, to fuck up your whole trading day.

had to be quick to take profit there.......covered a few at 54.25...but not enough....had scaled buys down to 50.25.
 
Quote from smilingsynic:

Yes, but we haven't closed. :-)

It is not short-term bullish that the market, when it rallied late this morning, could not even get to the overnight highs, or even to unchanged.

Until it does, and stays above those levels, I would say that there will be new lows. Which is where I will keep my wide scale-in buy orders.

ES went over the overnight high on massive volume, and sharply reversed. The pivot point here is 73 (I figure overnight numbers in my calculations), and that was not hit.

I'm still keeping those buy limit orders in place for ES and for stocks.

On a positive note, LOW and HD (home improvement retailers) look stronger than they have for a while.
